National Football League free agency rumors: TE Trey Burton to sign with Bears

Trey Burton scores a touchdown in the third quarter against the Bears at Soldier Field

Considering that the cash-strapped Eagles have Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz under contract through 2020, it was logical to assume Burton would find a home elsewhere in the league.

Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network first reported the signing, which is expected to get finalized after free agency officially opens Wednesday.

Burton, 26, has a special place in Eagles history because of his role in the " Philly Special". This past season, Burton finished with 23 catches for 248 yards and a career-high five touchdowns.

In his second season in Jacksonville in 2015, Robinson caught 80 passes for 1,400 yards, and an NFL-leading 14 touchdowns. It was a critical score in a 41-33 victory over the Patriots that gave Philadelphia their first Super Bowl title. In addition to Burton, the Bears added Allen Robinson to their talent-bare pass-catching corps on Tuesday.
